Remove "System" Designation from Disk 2
When I initially installed Win7, like a good boy, I unplugged all drives but my SSD. After installing, I plugged in my other drives. And life was wonderful.
A week ago, I wanted to send a Win7-formatted SSD to a friend of mine. So I got the SSD, unplugged my SSD, plugged his in, and installed. I forgot to unplug my other drives.
After many System Repairs, I finally have the system working again, but I can't for the life of me assign my C drive as System, Active, Primary Partition. The closest I can get is Active and Primary Partition. Check out my pic:
I've used diskpart, tried EasyBCD, tried everything. If I unplug all my other drives and boot with just my SSD, then in Disk Management, everything looks as it should -- the C partition is also labeled as System. But if I hook up the other drives, the System designation goes to my E drive.
How can I right this wrong? I know I can format the E drive, but there's like 600GB of data on there and I'd rather not do that if I can help it.
